By the River at Night 

The light of the river, the shadow that mars,
By the gloom of the arches, the gleam of the stars;
>
The mist that seems hanging and winging for aye
As a ghost or a dream in the wake of the day,
>
In seasons of pleasure, in seasons of blight, 
I walk by the river, the river of night;
>
And The burdens of care and the fardels of pride-
They drop from my spirit and sleep in the tide.
